StudyCom (of which English for Internet is a part) is a teaching project initiated and overseen by David Winet, who also teaches at the University of California at Berkeley (Extension) English Language Program . 
The purpose of the project is to explore and expand the educational potential of Internet by offering free online instruction by volunteer teachers to students from all over the world, in order, in part, to facilitate the learning of English by students who might otherwise not have access to, or resources for, 'real world' and/or paying classes; and in part to identify: 
1)the advantages and disadvantages of online education as compared to traditional in-class education, and 
2)the optimal methods for instruction and learning within the online environment.
